  1. Projects Small bench

    Scrap wood bench for changing shoes in mudroom. Cherry legs and unknown piece I have had in a pile for the seat. It's not fine furniture but it is rock solid and holds my fat ass.
  2. Focus on the Workspace
    Hello I managed to get this small woodworking bench and I like it so far. Since we live in an apartment, our balcony is the only place I can put it for now. But I do have two problems: 1. Stability: although I can work on in, the wood under the bench is not stable, thus the whole bench is not...
  3. Projects Chevrolet Tailgate Bench

    The best pieces have a story to tell and some history to them. This one has three stories and three histories. It is a bench made from a Chevrolet tailgate (late 80's or early 90's?), wood from an old piano and an old solid wood front door. The piano was from the early 1900's and the back frame...

  9. Projects Piano piano bench

    My son needed a new piano bench and I was looking through some ideas here on LumberJocks and found one that looked almost like what I wanted; so I followed that quite a bit and did a few tweaks to it. It's all painted poplar except for the Black Keys which are ebonized red oak which I had left...
  10. General Woodworking Discussions
    Hello, Due to arthritis in the hips woodturning has become painful and therefor intermittent and frustrating. I need a solution to turn while sitting down. I found this video: that shows a solution with a hight adjustable bench based on a weaving bench. It mentions plans in the 'current issue'...
  11. Projects Simple poplar bench

    I wanted something simple and inexpensive that I could mill and build in just a day or so. This was the first time I bought rough lumber and used all my toys to create flat, square pieces to work with. Began with the planer, went to the jointer, then the table saw, then the router. The top side...

  13. Projects Endai bench with folding legs

    We are going to need some auxiliary seating at an SCA event in March, and most of the benches I have made are locked up in a storage trailer. Plus, they are large and not very portable. My breakdown bench is nice and portable, but somewhat of a pain to re-create given the weird joinery. I...

  17. End Grain Top, A true labor of love

    I have had the opportunity to build several, end grain, butcher block cutting boards when a close friend asked if i could make a counter top for a kitchen island. The process is the same, but it is considerably more work to build a larger top…especially in a small shop like mine. I was...
  18. No, it is not a coffin!

    I just finished this cherry blanket chest / dressing bench for delivery tomorrow. The dimensions are: 60" long by 24" x 24" I used birch plywood for the bottow and a light cherry oil finish just to kind of even out the color inconsistancies. I finished it with semi-gloss poly. Now, if I can...
